Chapter 177: Sarcasm
Zou Ping angrily threw his sleeves away, stepped out of the flower hall, and walked away without looking back.
On the side of the door, Dongli was about to follow him and beat him up, but was stopped by Lu Chengting.
Xiao Jinyue put down the teacup and was about to go back to the private room to continue reading the account book, but as soon as she stepped out of the flower hall, she saw Lu Chengting outside the door.
"Hey, why are you here?"
Xiao Jinyue glanced at him, the look on his face was indifferent, and he didn't know how long he had been here.
Xiao Jinyue hesitated, but still asked directly, "Did you hear everything you said just now?" ”
Lu Chengting didn't hide it, "That Zou Ping doesn't seem to be a good stubble, you should pay more attention when you go in and out in the future, and it's best to remind the guys in the store to be vigilant." ”
She wasn't worried about someone making trouble or burning down the shop again.
Whether it's the guys in the shop or the people working in the workshop, it's all her father's people.
If someone dares to come and make trouble, it will only make people come and go.
However, Lu Chengting's reminder is also well-intentioned, and there is nothing wrong with being careful.
Xiao Jinyue bowed, "Don't worry, I will remind everyone to pay attention." By the way, you came to me, is there something wrong? ”
"I came out to do something, and I happened to pass by here, so I came to take a look. Have you used the lunch meal, and if so, do you want to eat a little together? ”
Hearing that Lu Chengting asked her to dinner, Xiao Jinyue was a little surprised.
"Okay, but I haven't finished reading the ledger yet, so you'll have to wait for me for a while." But after a little thought, she should go, anyway, she is going to eat, let's go together.
"Don't worry, you go get busy first, I'll wait for you here."
Xiao Jinyue asked the guards to carry Lu Chengting's seat into the hall, let the maid serve tea, and brought him a plate of pastries, and then went back to the private room to continue reading the account book.
After spending a cup of tea, he read the account book, talked to the shopkeeper about business problems, and finally reminded him to let the people below pay attention to prevent anyone from coming to the sugar store and workshop to make trouble.
After dealing with everything that should be handled, Xiao Jinyue went downstairs and went to the small flower hall in the backyard.
"Finished reading the ledger?" Lu Chengting was holding the tea cup, and when he saw that she came back so soon, he was a little surprised, and he was ready to wait for at least an hour.
Xiao Jinyue nodded, "If it hadn't been delayed by that Zou Ping for so long, I would have finished reading it a long time ago." ”
The sugar shop's ledger uses her modern bookkeeping method, and the accounts are clear and clear, and she looks natural and fast.
"Where to eat?"
"Do you have anything you want to eat, do you have any taboos?"
Xiao Jinyue shook her head, "There is nothing taboo, I don't pick anything to eat, as long as the ingredients are fresh, clean and hygienic."
"That'...... How about going to Juwei Pavilion? ”
In fact, Lu Chengting doesn't have any good ideas, although he grew up in Kyoto, but he guards the border all the year round, and has very little time to return to Beijing, and he is very unfamiliar with the restaurants and teahouses in Kyoto, but he is still a little familiar with Juwei Pavilion.
"Okay, let's go."
Xiao Jinyue actually misses the taste of chili peppers, although she can't eat spicy peppers, but occasionally she wants to change the taste and increase some appetite, but unfortunately there are no chili peppers in this dynasty.
When the two arrived at the Juwei Pavilion, it was time for dinner, and the lobby on the first floor was full.
The guards carried the chariot into the Juwei Pavilion, and many guests who ate looked sideways.
Xiao Er heard the movement, turned his head to look, and was stunned for a moment.
But soon greeted him with a smile on his face, "Guest officer, but for dinner?" ”
Xiao Jinyue looked around the lobby, the seats on the first floor were already full, and there was no vacant seat.
Xiao Er knew that she was looking for a seat as soon as Xiao Jinyue's movements saw it, and said with a smile on her face, "That, I'm really sorry, it's the time for dinner, and there are no vacant seats on the first floor." However, there is also a private room on the second floor. ”
Xiao Jinyue shook her head at Xiao Er, "We don't want a private room." ”
Xiao Er glanced at her unexpectedly, it was not for nothing that the lady and girl who came to Juwei Pavilion, but they rarely ate in the lobby, and usually went to a separate private room on the second floor.
Xiao Jinyue ignored Xiao Er, but turned his head and asked Lu Chengting, "Why don't we change places?" ”
Although there is a private room on the second floor, Lu Chengting's legs are inconvenient now, and it is not easy to go up the stairs with a seat, so it is better to change places directly.
Xiao Jinyue was talking to Lu Chengting, when suddenly a voice came from behind.
"Hey, the good dog doesn't get in the way, why did you even bring the chariot in, how can you get over?"
What kind of person talks with such a stinky mouth?
Xiao Jinyue turned his head to see that there were seven or eight noble men in brocade clothes standing behind, and the blue-robed man standing at the front was raising his eyebrows and glaring at them dissatisfied.
Seeing Xiao Jinyue look back, the blue-robed man's stunning gaze paused on her face, and then turned to Lu Chengting. The man shook the folding fan and said sarcastically, "Oh, isn't this the prince of Zhenguo, I heard that your legs are crippled, it's not good to stay in the mansion, why are you still running to Juwei Pavilion?" ”
Xiao Jinyue twisted her eyebrows, and the son didn't know who was in the house, and he spoke unscrupulously.
Although the man's tone of voice was not good, it was indeed they standing at the door of the lobby blocking the way, and Xiao Jinyue motioned for the guard carrying the chariot to lean to the side to make way for it.
Lu Chengting glanced at it lightly, and saw that it was just a group of gentlemen, so he retracted his gaze and turned his head sideways to Xiao Jinyue and said, "You don't want to eat here, so change places?" ”
The blue-robed man was ignored by the two of them in public, and suddenly felt that he couldn't save face, shaking the folding fan and sneering, "There are no seats in the lobby, didn't Xiao Er say that there is a private room on the second floor." The prince of Zhenguo has crippled legs and can't walk, do you want me to let someone drag you up? ”
The blue-robed man's words are really insulting.
Originally, the lobby was still a little noisy, but when they heard the man's words, they all quieted down, and no one dared to speak.
Although many people felt that the blue-robed man's words were excessive, no one dared to come out and refute them. These sons and brothers knew at a glance that their identities were not simple, they were just a group of ordinary people, and no one dared to open their mouths to offend them.
For the blue-robed man's words, the few sons who came with him did not stop him, but two or three laughed out loud. Although the others didn't laugh, they also looked like they were watching the excitement from the side.
"This son, could it be that you ate a lot of feces today and forgot to brush your teeth before going out?"
Xiao Jinyue didn't want to pay attention to such a group of gentlemen, thinking that if she got out of the way and let them pass, the matter would be over.
But the blue-robed man spoke too much, Lu Chengting was a general from the second rank of Zhenguo, if he didn't guard the border with the old prince all the year round, where would these gentlemen come from to live a peaceful life.
They didn't say they were grateful, they even laughed at Lu Chengting's cripplement in public, and said that they would drag him upstairs.
Even if Xiao Jinyue had a good temper, she couldn't help but be angry, and scolded the blue-robed man again, "It's rude for the son to go out without brushing his teeth, so it's better not to talk more."
Also, does your family live by the sea, and the management is so wide? We don't have to worry about the affairs of our family, so let's take care of yourself first when you have time. ”
